Review of the John Lewis, Partnership Card:

View on product page

Charged equivalent APR of 0ver 1000%!

Just one more poor review of the new JL card provider, New Day. I logged in to pay my latest statement to find I had an interest charge of £7.59. I eventually got through the labyrinthine telephone selection process and spoke to a very nice "collaborator" or whatever stupid name they have for call centre operators who advised, after a lengthy investigation that this was interest charged on an outstanding amount on my last statement of 79p. That is an APR of more than 1000%! When I queried this, the operator said that was correct. Daily interest is charges at 20%. To his credit, he said he would refund the interest amount, but I'm wondering whether I want to stay with a sharp "payday" loan shark like New Day. Beyond surprised that John Lewis would use them. But I guess they don't care about trashing their reputation... Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023
